The Asian teenager who appeared at the door of the martial arts room early in the morning was the same young man who applauded martial arts in the arena yesterday.

Because the atmosphere in the arena yesterday was too "embarrassing", Wu Dao also remembered the student who took the lead in applauding himself.

Although he was not able to stir the emotions of the other players, Wu Dao was still very grateful to this young Asian American.

That feeling of being recognized is still quite good, after coming to the United States, this teenager is the second person who makes him feel this way, and the first person is the team coach of Oak Hill High School, Coach Smith.

"Hello, martial arts, right?"

"My name is Guan Zhiqing!"

"You've just arrived at Oak Hill High School, and I'll be your guide for some time to come."

"Whether it's in life or study, if you need help with anything, I will do my best to help you!"

The boy greeted Wudao in fluent Chinese, and his Chinese had a strong "accent", but this accent was not the accent of a certain region of the country in Wudao's memory.

Sounds more like someone from Southeast Asia.

"Do you know Chinese? Who are you? Although the other party was obviously that kind of "Gao Hua", but when he heard this familiar language, Wu Dao immediately came to his senses, his eyes lit up, and he asked the other party.

"My mom is from Fujian, and my dad is from Hong Kong."

"But I was born in Malaysia, and I came to the United States to go to school after elementary school."

Guan Zhiqing also had a bright smile on his face when he heard Wu Dao's fluent Mandarin, stretched out his hand towards Wu Dao, and continued: "It's a pleasure to meet you!" ”

"I saw you playing in the stadium yesterday, you are really amazing!"

"Is it from the domestic youth training echelon?"

Guan Zhiqing, Gao Hua, seems to have some understanding of the domestic basketball environment, and the questions asked are quite targeted. In this era, there were almost no Chinese playing in high schools in the United States.

And Wudao was able to break out of Asia and come to Oak Hill High School to play, in the thinking logic of ordinary people, it is natural that it should come from the country that is the "hegemon of Asia".

I'm afraid no one could have imagined that a player like Wu Dao actually came to the United States to play with Neon High School as a springboard.

"It's not. Before coming to Oak, I was playing in neon. ”

"It didn't come out of the academy."

Speaking of when he played in Neon before, Wu Dao didn't feel embarrassed at all, indeed, Neon's basketball is indeed very weak in Asia.

But so what? He himself is the one who stands out from that environment, what does neon play ball dishes have to do with his martial arts?

"Neon?"

"How can a player like you be born in that kind of place?"

"Did you study there?"

Guan Zhiqing pushed his glasses and asked suspiciously, he really couldn't imagine that kind of environment could cultivate players of this level of martial arts.

"Strictly speaking, sort of."

"Haha, don't pay attention to these, Guan Zhiqing, what is the matter with the guide you just mentioned?"

"I've actually studied abroad at Oak Hill High School for a while, but I've never heard of a guide."

"It's."

Wu Dao lowered his head slightly and looked at Guan Zhiqing in front of him and asked.

In the face of Wu Dao's inquiry, Guan Zhiqing was very calm, and replied with a smile: "There has always been such a policy, you didn't meet a guide when you were studying here before, I'm afraid it's because you are a yellow race." ”

"Or maybe it's because you've been here for a short time."

When the three words of yellow race were mentioned, Guan Zhiqing's mood suddenly became a little depressed, but soon, Guan Zhiqing beat his spirit, raised his head and said to Wu Dao with a smile:

"The guide is also applied for by the students themselves, and not every international student can have a classmate."

"We're all Chinese, and in the United States, it's only natural to help each other, isn't it?"

Looking at Guan Zhiqing's face, Wu Dao nodded slightly.

There are some things that he doesn't feel very real, and the feelings of martial arts are not very profound. Because he came to play when he came to Oak Hill before, and the people he came into contact with in his usual life were basically players from the same team.

Of course, there is such a thing as discrimination in the basketball team, but Wu Dao is strong personally, and after he played for more than a month, there was no dissatisfaction in the team.

And the martial arts body is tall and big, and the muscles are also very solid, at first glance, he is not the type to be provoked, and of course this kind of thing he encounters is very rare.

However, Guan Zhiqing is obviously different from Wu Dao, Guan Zhiqing is not tall, his figure is also a little thin, Wen Wen looks quiet, he is very easy to bully at a glance, and Wu Dao noticed that Guan Zhiqing's whole temperament is very good, and his literary quality is very gentle, presumably his family conditions are also very good.

Only a well-educated person can show such a temperament.

The family is rich, short and easy to bully, and he is still a yellow person, such a person is no different from a "fat sheep" in the eyes of some people.

In the current social environment, one can imagine what kind of life Guan Zhiqing lives in school.

And this, still in the famous family, Oak Hill College, if in some public community high schools, Guan Zhiqing has to face the "life pressure", I am afraid it is much stronger than now.

The stress of life here does not mean money.

Guan Zhiqing, who has come over in such an environment, knows how important it is for Chinese people to "help each other".

Being a "guide" for martial arts, on the one hand, is due to his psychology of helping the Chinese, and on the other hand, Guan Zhiqing himself likes basketball very much.

In this country, there are only three best ways for young high school students to be free from discrimination and mingle with whites and blacks.

The two best ways to play football or basketball, other than smoking with them, are to learn to play football or basketball.

Guan Zhiqing wanted to play basketball in his early years, and he could have a common hobby with his peers.

But his height completely denied him this idea.

In addition to studying, his biggest hobby is to soak in the arena in Oak Hill and watch the basketball team practice and play. This is not only the reason why he likes basketball, but also Guan Zhiqing's "colored glasses" that want to escape from some people.

In the basketball arena, most people's attention will be on the players who are training, and will not pay attention to him, the yellow man sitting in the corner.

"yes. It is as it should be to help each other. ”

"Thank you, Guan Zhiqing."

Wu Dao smiled and stretched out his hand and shook it with Guan Zhiqing. He didn't know that the young man in front of him had so many twists and turns in his mind, Wu Dao just felt that Guan Zhiqing made him very pleasing to the eye, and in this foreign country, it was a good thing for him to have such a companion.

That's all.

"You should have just gotten up, right?"

"I'll take you to the cafeteria for breakfast."

"After eating, you're going to go to the basketball gym for training."

"During the holidays, the team's morning training is from 9 to 11.30, two and a half hours."

"The afternoon training session is 15.00-17.00, two hours."

"There is no training in the evenings, but generally speaking, players who have nothing to do will practice on their own in the stadium or play games with other students to maintain their physical fitness."

"Martial Dao, what are your plans?"

Guan Zhiqing said a lot, and was stunned for a moment when he heard Guan Zhiqing's martial arts. After a while, Wu Dao finally reacted, and said with a smile towards Guan Zhiqing: "You really know a lot about the basketball team!" ”

"I don't know you that well."

"Wait for me a little bit, I'll wash up, and then I'll go to the cafeteria with you."

With that, Takemichi walked back into his room and washed up. The environment of the dormitory for international students is not bad, in addition to the standard beds and desks, there are also private bathrooms.

Wu Dao spent more than ten minutes briefly taking care of himself, and then walked out of the door.

In the ten minutes that the martial arts were washing, Guan Zhiqing stood at the door, with his back against the wall, neither chatting with the martial arts, nor urging the martial arts, just standing quietly at the door, waiting.

"Guan Zhiqing, your words are so few!"

"It's so quiet!"

On the way to the cafeteria, Wu Dao and Guan Zhiqing chatted, and Guan Zhiqing smiled at the evaluation of Wu Dao and replied: "Talk less, you can make yourself less troublesome." ”

"Gradually, I got used to it, but I'm not really an introvert."

When Guan Zhiqing said this, although he was smiling, there was an indescribable bitterness in the ears of Wu Dao.

"It's really not easy for Chinese people to survive in such a place!"

As he spoke, Wu Dao suddenly thought of something, turned around, and went to the girls' dormitory. chatting with Guan Zhiqing, he almost forgot that he was not an acquaintance in this school.

But after going to the girls' dormitory, Martial Arts was empty, and Takako Fujima had already gone out early, and he was not in the dormitory at all.

didn't find Takako Fujima, so Wu Dao didn't think much about it, and after having breakfast with Guan Zhiqing, he went to the arena to start his morning training.

They came early, and after eating, they took a walk to eliminate their appetite, and it was only 8.30 when they arrived at the stadium. There were only a handful of people practicing in the arena at Oak Hill High School.

Takeshi saw Takako Fujima on the side of the court, and at this time Takako Fujima was holding a book that I didn't know what it was, sitting in the corner of the wall with her head down and reading carefully.

Without bothering Takako Fujima, Takeshi found a basketball on the side of the court and walked into the court, ready to do some simple shooting exercises.

"Hey! Military! ”

In the middle of the court, Charles saw the arrival of Martial Arts, smiled and waved to Martial Arts, and greeted.

"Charles, you're here early."

Wu Dao was also familiar with talking to Charles, and then paced to the bottom corner with the ball and threw the basketball in his hand casually.

"!!Shh

With a crisp sound, the basketball went straight into the net.

"How's the rest? I heard that you just arrived in the United States yesterday and were directly pulled by your coach to play in the stadium. ”

"No wonder, I said why did you hit so low in yesterday's game!"

Charles glanced at the direction of the basket and said as he threw the basketball in his hand towards Takemichi, and he trotted to the basket.

There were also two black guys who warmed up all the time, and they didn't go to deal with Wudao and Charles, and practiced high projection on their own.

"Bell!"

"Bell!"

The crisp sound of hitting iron sounded from above the basket after Takemichi scored.

"The quality of sleep was good."

"I was already adjusting to jet lag when I was on the plane."

"It's just that after being in the sky for a long time, and after coming down, I sat in the coach's jeep, and my body didn't feel right."

"I slept all night and now I feel better."

While talking to Charles, Wu Dao raised his hand and threw the basketball in his hand. The basketball draws a beautiful arc in mid-air and then falls firmly into the hoop.

Charles under the basket tilted his head, slapped the basketball on it, and passed the ball to Takemichi, while saying:

"Wu, you have to hurry up and adjust your state!"

"In a while, we're going to start playing the second leg of the NFHS league, aren't you going to play NAB?"

"In the NFHS league, you have to perform well!"

"Help the team win the state championship, and there should be a lot of scouts who will notice you."

"You've left your name on the scout's side, and if you reappear, the ESPN guys will keep an eye on you."

"Who made you a 'Yellow Storm'?"

The NFHS league in Charles's mouth is a kind of high school basketball league in the United States, which is a regional game based on the state unit. From November to March of the following year, the NFHS league is held in each state.

The full name of this league is called the "National High School Basketball Association Holiday League", covering 50 states in the United States, covering more than 20,000 high schools and more than 18,000 participating teams.

Every year, it attracts thousands of spectators, not only high school students, but also basketball enthusiasts in society, major media outlets, and sometimes, even NBA stars, who will also appear in the audience of the NFHS league.

When James was still in high school, his games attracted many NBA stars to watch the game, and then he dunked Wiggins, three-ball, Fat Tiger, and many other players, which should have attracted a lot of attention in high school.

Let's just say that the NFHS league is as much attention in the United States as Koshien is to neon. Huaguo's CBA, which will be prosperous in the future, in terms of scale, can't even compare with the high school league of Lao Mei, as for Huaguo's high school league? Not to mention in the 90s, even in the 21st century, you can't feel the so-called influence of high school leagues in China.

Gaps are not something that can be bridged overnight.

There are more than 18,000 teams participating in the NFHS League, and to put it simply, there are more than 360 teams from each state.

In previous years, the state champions of each state have attracted the attention of the NCAA league powerhouses, and the players of those teams are often selected from these state championships.

As for those NBA players in previous years, many of them have won NFHS high school state championships.

For Martial Arts, the next NFHS league game for Oak Hill High School is very important, and it will be his best chance to stand out in front of scouts across the United States!

Also the most recent opportunity!

"NFHS league league."

"Don't worry, Charles, I'll lead Oak Hill High School to the state championship!"

"Add an honor to your high school career!"

As he spoke, Wu Dao adjusted the position of the basketball in his hand and raised his hand to throw the ball.

The next second, a crunch sounded from the net.

The two blacks who were about to practice shooting in the court saw Takemi's three-point shot in three, and at this moment they also stopped their movements in unison, and before Charles passed the ball to Takemi, one of the blacks near the top of the arc had already thrown the ball to Takemi.

When he got the basketball, Wu Dao didn't make the slightest adjustment, and threw the ball directly, and the basketball went into the net, turning up the white net.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

The two blacks and Charles passed the ball to Martial Arts together, and in the arena, there was a crunch sound of a basketball entering the net. After "simply" throwing more than 50 goals in a row, Wu Dao finally made a mistake and the basketball jumped out of the basket.

At this moment, several people in the arena looked at Martial Dao, their eyes full of consternation.

"Blame. Monsters."
